CNN's climate town hall placed last in total viewership for all seven hours

While CNN marketed their seven hour climate town hall forum with many of the Democratic presidential candidates as "unprecedented," the network was in last place in total viewership between Fox News and MSNBC.
The town hall started at 5:00 p.m. and went until midnight on Wednesday.
Fox News was in first place during the seven hour time slot, averaging 2.5 million viewers and MSNBC averaging 1.7 million viewers. CNN only averaged 1.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
For the 25-54 age demographic, Fox News also came in first with 418,000 viewers. CNN was in second with 265,000 viewers and MSNBC in third with 246,000.

I truly hope this is the hill that the Demon-Rat candidates all chose to die on!!!!
Of all the problems facing this country, a naturally occurring thing like the climate changing -- that has been happening since the creation of the world -- is pretty much the last thing on 98% of all Americans' minds.
And all the Demon-Rats' plans to "fix" this naturally occurring phenomena will destroy our economy and hurt a lot of people. But it makes their idiotic brain-dead base feel good!!!
All Demon-Rats and other lie-berals are pure evil!!!!! Period!!!!!

This is what REALLY bugs me about the climate change crap: There are community groups all over this world who have unsafe and/or inadequate supplies of water. Either they don't have enough to drink OR what they have to drink is not clean. And THOSE are problems we could solve. We know how to dig wells, purify water, desalinate water, etc. We can educate people on how to keep their water intake safe.
And yet we have the Al Gores and AOCs and the you-name-it Leftist/Communist who wants to play Henny Penny "The Sky Is Falling" -- almost always for a buck and for control over others. And all in the NAME of helping people, especially the "poor" and "disenfranchised."
Freaking TICKS me off. If we want to help others, let's help them get clean water. But that, my friends, does not bring power to the elites. Problems bring power to them. Fixes take away their power. Screw the elites! POWER to the PEOPLE!

CNN will probably win some meaningless TV Emmy award for their bravery for airing such an important show to the world. It won't matter that 99.99999% of it was factual drivel and a climate fairy tail that could only have been written by Stephen King.

It was seven hours of free air time; an in-kind campaign contribution to the DNC and their Presidential candidates. Will the RNC get a 7-hour slot on CNN to refute the RATS and their genocidal madness and anti-Constitutional lunacy?

FTA: "went on until midnight." Good grief. SoJo and Crazy Bernie are too old to be up that late. And Princess Liealota ain't no spring chicken. Can you think of any other scientific theory where belief an disbelief breaks down along political lines? That tells you that this is about politics and not science.

This is not an issue that very many people care about very much at all. The left imagines that there is this great reservoir of public support for all their "climate change" politics. They are wrong. It always ranks very low, often dead last, in polls of important issues.

The hyperbole and ridiculous rhetoric almost never even happened ifyou go by the reporting seeking to keep what was really said AWAY from the public!!
Society and the economy that the would have if these initiatives were enacted would put us almost back to the Stone Age.
There are only so many things that wind/solar can do and NONE of them will sustain life as we know it.

But, but, the Dims are telling us that "climate change" is an "existential" threat to our lives, and must be dealt with immediately with the most dire response possible: end of use of "fossil fuels," banning automobiles, banning meat, etc.
So, how can the low viewership cited be even possible????

Hahah- I just thought of this: What if CNN was sued and forced to also provide 7 hours for RNC and Trump to expound on un-retrieved doggie doolies in yards and water wiggles at Slip-'N-Slide parties...and got a record breaking all time booming in ratings. Would that frost these cretins or what?

A wave of House GOP retirements that accelerated during the August recess is creating fresh headaches for party leaders and suggesting Republicans see little chance of winning back the chamber in 2020.
So far, 15 Republicans have announced this cycle they are retiring, resigning or running for other offices, including eight since the summer recess began in late July.
A handful of those departing, like Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), would have faced tough reelections in competitive districts.
But the vast majority occupy safe, conservative seats — a sign that these lawmakers may be fatigued from the chaotic

Iran has begun using arrays of advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium in violation of its 2015 nuclear deal, a spokesman said Saturday, warning that Europe has little time left to offer new terms to save the accord.
The comments by Behrouz Kamalvandi of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran signal a further cut into the one year experts estimate Tehran would need to have a enough material for building a nuclear weapon if it chose to pursue one. Iran maintains its program is peaceful.
Iran already has breached the stockpile and enrichment level limits set by the deal, while stressing it could quickly revert back to the terms of the accord if

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) recently met with members of the terrorist-sympathizing, anti-Israel group Palestine Youth Movement, according to a picture on social media featuring the lawmaker with supporters of the organization.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported on Tlaib’s visit with members of the group. It reportedly took place at the Arab Texas Festival of Dallas, according to social media posts.
“Yesterday, we tabled at the Arab Texas Festival of Dallas! While doing community outreach, Palestinian congresswoman @RashidaTlaib stopped by our table,” a tweet from the group’s Twitter account read.

Minnesota parents and families, who oppose state-mandated comprehensive sex ed (CSE) pushed by Planned Parenthood and LGBT activist groups, are planning to rally to protect their children.
Child Protection League (CPL) Action will hold its “Protect Kids Rally” on Sunday, September 22 on the steps of the state capitol in St. Paul.

CPL Action states that, in April, a majority of Minnesota House lawmakers voted to mandate that every Pre-K-12 traditional public and charter school teach comprehensive sex ed. “Democrats said the legislation focused on teaching ‘harassment’ and ‘consent,’” CPL Action continues. “But the curriculum includes pornographic images and unscientific ideas about gender, and

Texas Republicans are sounding the alarm as Democratic presidential candidates get ready for their debate next week in Houston, warning that the Lone Star State could become more purple if the party doesn’t treat it as a 2020 battleground.
Most in the GOP are confident President Trump will win Texas and its 38 electoral votes next year, and they think Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn will turn aside his Democratic challenger.
But they are worried they will lose more House seats a cycle after Democrats clawed back two districts as they retook their majority.

Retried New York Police Department (NYPD) Lieutenant Darrin Porcher blamed the “regressive policies” of Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio after video surfaced Thursday of a bystander throwing an open container of milk at a New York Police officer.
“We look what happened in the summertime, result of regressive policies from city hall, quote, unquote, Mayor de Blasio,” Porcher said Friday during an appearance on Fox & Friends. The suspect remains at large, but Porcher advocated for a public shaming of the man once he is brought to justice. “We have a term we refer to as perp walk,” Porcher said. “Everyone should

Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” mocked Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar for repeatedly telling the same joke at President Donald Trump’s expense.
After Klobuchar launched her campaign in a February blizzard, Trump mocked her for discussing global warming while getting drenched by snow, referring to the senator as “snow woman.”
In the ensuing seven months, Klobuchar has repeatedly made the same joke in front of audiences, saying the science of climate change is on her side, and asking how Trump’s hair would fare in a blizzard.

A panel of three judges dismissed a case brought by Britain's former Prime Minister John Major and businesswoman Gina Miller arguing that current Prime Minister Boris Johnson's attempt to suspend parliament through prorogation is an abuse of power, Bloomberg reported Friday.
The case will be appealed to the U.K.'s highest court, handing Johnson a second legal victory and setting up a final battle over parliament and likely the fate of the U.K.'s exit from the European Union (EU) in the Supreme Court.
Miller slammed the ruling in a press conference Friday, according to Bloomberg, and vowed to continue the battle before the nation's highest court.

House Democrats have taken their first formal steps to probe President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to steer U.S. and foreign government business to his luxury resorts, part of an expanding roster of inquiries informing them whether to recommend of articles of impeachment.
In a series of letters revealed Friday, the Judiciary Committee and Oversight Committee are demanding significant details about Trump’s call to host next year’s G7 summit at his own private resort — as well as Vice President Mike Pence’s recent stay at a Trump property in Ireland.

Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders made her debut on Friday’s “Fox & Friends” in front of a live audience of first responders.
When host Steve Doocy opened the floor for questions and comments from the audience, one firefighter named Chris stood up to say his piece. “More of a comment than it is a question,” Chris clarified. “I have three daughters and three granddaughters. You are a true inspiration to women, not just in our country but throughout the world. I want to thank you for what you’ve gone through. To be honest with you, from bottom of my heart

"I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke," tweeted Donald Trump, himself a frequent consumer of diet soda, back in 2012. Besides being an amusing self-own, Trump's comment helps explain the trouble with most research on diet drinks—including a new study that's been making the media rounds this week.
"It doesn't matter if it's sugary or diet: New study links all soda to an early death," reported The Washington Post on September 4. It was one of many similar headlines. The implication of all of them was clear: Zero-calorie cola is a big fat lie, and if you don't ditch it now you're staring down a premature grave.

Former Obama White House adviser David Axelrod said in a tweet Thursday that Joe Biden was distorting his own record to a damaging degree.
Linking to a Slate article about Biden's misleading remarks about when he began opposing the Iraq War, Axelrod wrote Biden was "in danger" of creating a harmful meme about his candidacy.
"It's one thing to have a well-earned rep for goofy, harmless gaffes," Axelrod tweeted. "It's another if you serially distort your own record. @JoeBiden is in danger of creating a more damaging meme." (Tweet) Biden claimed in a recent NPR interview that he only voted to authorize President George W. Bush to use military

CNN and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation have partnered to host the next Democratic presidential town hall, focused on LGBTQ issues.CNN host Don Lemon made the announcement after the seven hour-long Democratic presidential climate town hall on Wednesday. "CNN is partnering with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for our next series of presidential town halls on issues that are important to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community," Lemon told viewers.

The Gathering Threat to the Electoral College—and to the U.S. Senate. The left has a hot new cause: getting rid of the Electoral College. And if the left succeeds in doing away with that venerable institution, its next target, the U.S. Senate, will fall like a dried apple. As is so often the case with leftist causes these days; the spearhead is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York; being social-media-savvy and telegenic, she’s the star of the progressive A-Team. Way back on October 6, 2018, AOC was tweeting: It is well past time we eliminate the Electoral College, a shadow of slavery’s power

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has came under fire from conservatives on social media Thursday after he said he would be open to discussing population control as a means to combat climate change.
The presidential candidate made the comments on Wednesday at a climate town hall on CNN after he was asked by an attendee about rising populations and how the planet "can not sustain this growth."
The questioner, identified by CNN as a teacher named Martha Readyoff, said that she realized linking population control to climate was a topic "poisonous for politicians, but it's crucial to face."

If someone is prepared to slaughter 10, 20 or more innocent civilians shopping in a drug store, do you think they are inclined to respect the “wishes” of a retail outlet that doesn’t want firearms in its establishment? CVS and Walgreens think so.
CVS and Walgreens joined the woke corporation crowd of Walmart and Kroger and announce they request customers do not bring firearms into their stores.
“We support the efforts of other individuals and groups working to prevent gun violence, and continually review our policies and procedures to ensure our stores remain a safe environment,” CVS said in its statement. “We join a growing chorus of

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis has a book coming out in which he is harshly critical of President Obama. Among other things, he recalls his dissent from Obama’s decision to pull troops out of Iraq prematurely, which had nearly-disastrous consequences. But this less well-known story about Iran is also noteworthy:
Mattis says Washington didn’t even inform him when Iran committed an “act of war” on American soil.
Mattis was CENTCOM commander at the time, responsible for our military posture vis-a-vis Iran.
The duty officer at his Tampa, Florida, headquarters on Oct. 11, 2011 told him that the attorney general and FBI director had held

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown threatened violence against his team's general manager, and the team is doing nothing about it. On Wednesday, Brown had a heated exchange with Raiders GM Mike Mayock where he unleashed a barrage of foul language and went as far as threatening to punch Mayock in the face. The exchange came because Mayock was unhappy that Brown had posted a part of a letter the GM sent him on social media. The letter had to do with the $54,000 the team fined him for a pair of unexcused absences from practice during training camp.

Sen. Edward Markey expressed worries Thursday that Amazon’s video doorbell Ring and its partnership with law enforcement could lead to increased racial profiling, particularly with people of color. Mr. Markey wrote a letter to Amazon’s chief executive saying he was “alarmed to learn that Ring is pursuing facial recognition technology” and offering police departments access to Rekognition, their face-matching program. The Massachusetts Democrat added the technology raises “serious privacy and civil liberties concern” that “could easily create a surveillance network that places dangerous burdens on people of color” in areas where Ring has partnered with police officials. Although Amazon markets Ring

Swedish behavioural scientist Magnus Söderlund has suggested that eating other people after they die could be a means of combatting climate change.
The scientist mentioned the possibility of cannibalism during a broadcast on Swedish television channel TV4 this week about a fair in Stockholm regarding “food of the future”.
Söderlund is set to hold seminars at the event, entitled “Gastro Summit — about the future of food” where he intends to discuss the possibility of eating people in the name of cutting down greenhouse emissions.
According to his research, the main problem with the idea is the widespread taboo of eating human flesh and said that conservative

The U.S. economy is “faltering,” House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared Friday in response to the U.S. Labor Department’s August report revealing that a record number of people were employed last month, while the unemployment rate held at 3.7% - and fell to record lows for blacks and Hispanics.“The August jobs report offers little comfort in an economy faltering under the Trump Administration’s reckless agenda,” Speaker Pelosi says in a statement posted on her website: "The August jobs report offers little comfort in an economy faltering under the Trump Administration’s reckless agenda to undermine the health, financial security and well-being of the American people."

At CNN’s “Climate Crisis” town hall, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the rising star among Democratic candidates at the moment, laid out her vision for energy production in the U.S. It is so catastrophically misguided that it should disqualify her from holding the office she seeks.
At Wednesday’s town hall, Democrats tried to one-up each other with various grandiose plans to decarbonize the U.S. economy.
But it was Warren’s almost offhand remarks about domestic energy production that caught our attention.
“I think the way we get there,” she said, is to force electric utilities to stop using fossil fuels to generate electricity. “We just say, sorry, guys but by 2035, you’re done.

Is former Vice President Joe Biden's "electability" argument weakening?
From the beginning of his 2020 campaign, Biden has banked his nomination chances not on arguing that he's the best candidate, either in terms of policy or enthusiasm, but that he is the only one "safe" enough to run against Donald Trump in the general election. Coasting on his association with the wildly popular Barack Obama, Biden's strategy has been to appeal to skittish Democratic voters who might not themselves have much personal zeal for the former veep, but who believe he won't scare off those fragile working-class white voters in the Midwest who have become such a focus of media attention
